BORAG THUNGG, EARTHLETS – Prog 2243 is OUT NOW!

We surge into August not only with all guns blazing but pretty much every element red-hot too — it’s currently scorching in the Command Module, and not even a repurposed Burt, transformed into a desk-mounted fan, can sufficiently cool Tharg’s Betelgeusian body.

Probably the leather jumpsuit isn’t ideal attire for this kind of weather, but it’s discomfort he’s willing to put up with considering the level of authority it bestows. You think he can order around the creator-droids bedecked in Bermuda
shorts? Would a being of his magnitude be caught wearing flip-flops? We think not!

Anyway, these kind of extreme temperatures, and recent environmental catastrophes in Europe and the US, remind us of the climate change that this planet is undergoing, and the effect it has on every living thing across the globe. It needs to be
addressed and tackled if we still want a future, and Paul Goodenough’s Rewriting Extinction project is the latest initiative, bringing together three hundred writers and artists for the Most Important Comic Book on Earth.

Look out for it in October, and in the meantime visit rewritingextinction.com!

JUDGE DREDD // Now That’s What I Call Justice: All Time Top Fifty // Part Four!

Mega-City One, 2143 AD. Home to over 160 million citizens, this urban hell is situated along the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America, with the irradiated wasteland known as the Cursed Earth to the west. Unemployment is rife, boredom universal and crime is rampant. Tensions rest on a knife-edge and only the zero-tolerance Judges can stop total anarchy. Toughest of them all is JUDGE DREDD — he is the Law! Now, an outfit called Justice Watch is executing Judges who it says killed cits…


Script: Gordon Rennie / Art: Patrick Goddard / Colours: Dylan Teague / Letters: Annie Parkhouse

AQUILA // The Rivers of Hades //Book One // Part Six!

Following Spartacus’s failed revolt against his Roman masters, his rebel army was crucified. Amongst these was the slave-turned-gladiator AQUILA, who cried out to the gods for vengeance — and was answered by Ammit the Devourer, a deity that gifted him with immortality in return for keeping her fed with evil men’s souls. Now, Aquila has travelled into Hades to seek out the spirit of Nero, who knows Ammit’s location…


Script: Rory McConville / Art: Dan Cornwell / Colours: Len O’Grady / Letters: Simon Bowland

DEPARTMENT K // Cosmic Chaos // Part Ten

Mega-City One, 2143 AD. Justice Dept has many divisions tasked with dealing with the threats that face the metropolis, and DEPARTMENT K is a branch of Tek-Div, whose brief is to tackle interdimensional enemies. Headed by Judge Kirby, and comprising of intern Afua, Mechanismo droid Estabon and the alien Blackcurrant, they’re now helping a neighbouring reality. But members of the cult the Valox are trying to destroy the multiverse…


Script: James Peaty / Art: Paul Marshall / Colours: Dylan Teague / Letters: Jim Campbell

SKIP TRACER // Eden // Part Seven!

The Cube, the 27th century. This vast city floating in the depths of space was once a monitoring station, but has been refitted by the Earth-led Consociation as a solution to a universal housing problem. It’s now home to every kind of undesirable and wanted criminal. That’s where SKIP TRACER Nolan Blake comes in, a former soldier turned tracker, who, after a battlefield injury, was left with powerful psi-abilities. . Now, Blake and his infant daughter have been captured…


Script: Dan Abnett / Art: Tazio Bettin / Colours: John Charles / Letters: Simon Bowland

DEXTER // Bulletopia Chapter Six: Somewhere Beyond The Sea // Part One!

Gun-sharks Finnigan SINISTER and Ramone DEXTER were the best hitmen money could buy in the future city of Downlode. Having whacked Holy Moses Tanenbaum, a ganglord from an alternate dimension, they found killing him reset the continuum, meaning no one knew who they were. But now a rogue A.I. is at large, which took control of Sinister, forcing Dexter to kill him. But Sinister has been resurrected, and Dex, Billi and Carrie are on the run…

BORAG THUNGG, EARTHLETS – Prog 2242 is OUT NOW!

We bid you galactic greetings, Squaxx, as we thrust another thirty-pages of circuit-shattering Thrill-power into your eager, grasping hands. We know that many of you impatiently await this time of the week, hungry to get your sticky pseudopods on the latest pulse-pounding prog and catch up on the next instalments of our zarjaz roster of stories, so we won’t take up too much of your time with our verdant preamble.

Perhaps you’ve already breezed past and immersed yourself in Judge Dredd, as Joe investigates a series of badge-slayings. Maybe you muttered ‘Ta ta, Tharg’ as you flipped quickly to deconstruct the hellish action of Aquila instead. It’s possible that you simply couldn’t wait to consume the cosmic chaos of Department K and brushed these words aside like so much Quaxxann crumble.

It could be that, in the fight for your attention, our editorial emanations couldn’t compete with the intriguing developments in Sinister and Skip Tracer. If so, then perhaps the blame lies with us for assembling such a damn fine prog in the first place.

And those of you that are still here? Get reading, slowpokes! Do you need an invitation?

PROG 2240 out now

BORAG THUNGG, EARTHLETS – Prog 2240 is OUT NOW!

Prepare for hyper-law enforcement, Terrans, as we count down the top cops in Mega-City in zarjaz new Judge Dredd story Now That’s What I Call Justice by John Wagner and John Higgins, starting within this very pulse-pounding prog.

Elsewhere, Chimpsky’s Law comes to its scrotnig finale, plus there’s more eye-scorching action in Aquila, Skip Tracer and Department K — with that little lot to consume, I believe you may be at very real risk of Thrill-power Overload, Squaxx, so ensure all necessary precautions are taken before venturing forth into the wild, wild world of the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic.

Clothe yourselves in vacuum-sealed haz-mat suits to contain any spontaneous explosions of excitement — terminal brainstorm will almost certainly cause cranial trauma — and keep hydrating fluids to hand that can be piped in directly.

Many atomised husks have been found clutching this Mighty Organ, the sheer blazing energy emanating from the pages having burnt them from the inside out. Don’t be that hume, Earthlets, and think it won’t happen to you.

Be safe — be Thrill-safe!

As we power out of June, there’s no sign of the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic cooling down — just look at the scorching stories contained within, and you’ll understand why this pulse-pounding publication is considered volatile material.

Judge Dredd is closing in on hitman Bick Bickford in Removal Man by John Wagner and Colin MacNeil; things take a turn for the even weirder in Department K: Cosmic Chaos by Rory McConville and Dan Cornwell; Noam Chimpsky finally comes face to face with the true villain in Chimpsky’s Law by Ken Niemand and PJ Holden; Nolan Blake sets out to find Hastings in Skip Tracer: Eden by James Peaty and Paul Marshall; and Gordon Rennie and Patrick Goddard reunite for a new series
of Aquila starting this very issue.

Picking up where we left off in The Burning Fields (Progs 2174-2181), Aquila, Felix and Scarabatus have been reborn into the underworld as they track down the spirit of the Emperor Nero, whom they believe knows the location of Ammit the devourer, Aquila’s demon mistress.

But it’s not going to be an easy journey, as they’ll soon discover in the first book of The Rivers of Hades… Enjoy, Squaxx, enjoy!
